There have been some pretty intense commentaries about this tension-release technique being sexually analogous and gender-specific, and that in recent years, women composers have emancipated their writing from the build-to-climax model implicit in harmonic and architectural tension-release, and that women listeners are drawn to the sound of the newer paradigm.
I'm just hoping that this whole description is a joke. If it's not, then God help us.
